Four grassroots sport clubs and organisations in Werribee are set to bolster their coaching skills, administration
expertise, or score new sports equipment thanks to a share in funding from the Victorian Government.
Member for Werribee Tim Pallas announced the latest successful applicants from Werribee of the current round of the
Victorian Government’s Sporting Club Grants Program.
The grants provide clubs with up to $1,000 for new uniforms and equipment, up to $5,000 for training coaches, officials
and volunteers, up to $5,000 to improve club operational effectiveness and up to $5,000 to help sports get back on their
feet after the pandemic.
Grant recipients include Wyndham Track and Field Club, Wyndham Warriors BMX Club, Werribee Table Tennis
Association, and Equestrian Victoria Inc.
The Sporting Club Grants Program is part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to make sport more accessible
and inclusive, stimulate local economies, build sustainable sport and recreation and volunteer opportunities and
increase local participation as coronavirus restrictions are lifted.
Since 2014, the Victorian Government has provided more than 5150 sporting club grants totalling more than $7 million
to clubs across the state.
